Charles Leclerc’s on-track success, coupled with his good looks, has made him one of the most followed F1 drivers on Instagram. As much as his 18 million followers on Instagram enjoy keeping tabs on his on-track activities, several are also interested in what he does off-track.
And among all the topics, one that is of particular interest is his gorgeous girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux. The two began dating on a rather controversial note.
The announcement of their relationship came just a few months after he broke up with Charlotte Sine, whom he dated for over three years, in 2022. But that’s not the most controversial part.
Some fans believe Saint Mleux shares an eerie resemblance to Sine. Not only that, but according to some reports, Saint Mleux and Sine ran in the same circles — Saint Mleux apparently being a close friend of Sine’s sister.
Despite all this, though, the couple seems to be going strong three years down the line. In August 2024, Saint Mleux sent social media into a frenzy with a post in which she referred to Leclerc’s brother Lorenzo’s wife Charlotte as her ‘sister-in-law.’
It had to take some re-editing of the caption from Saint Mleux to end speculations surrounding that, as it was simply a lighthearted way of showing her bond with Leclerc’s family, instead of an indication of their future plans.
They have also made public appearances together at events like the NBA, Paris Fashion Week, and the Monte Carlo Masters in the last three years.
Despite the seemingly shaky start to the relationship, Mluex seems to have become a fan favorite due to her humble demeanor and impeccable fashion sense. She has become one of the most popular partners on the grid, igniting curiosity among fans about her life.
Saint Mleux has a special interest in the Arts
When the duo got together, Saint Mleux was still an art student. The 23-year-old was studying at the Ecole Du Louvre in Paris and graduated last year. She pursued her Bachelor’s degree at the University of Arts and Arts History.
Since graduating, she has followed the trajectory she worked out for herself in University and works in the field. In fact, the 23-year-old is very active on social media and shares pictures of her visiting many museums and art galleries around the world.

Recently, she was present in Hong Kong as a moderator at an art convention where renowned artist Robert Zhao presented. She wrote on her Instagram, “Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to meet and moderate a conversation with the brilliant Singaporean artist @robert_zhao.”
What are Saint Mleux’s other interests apart from art?
While the 23-year-old is keen to carve out a career for herself in the field of art, she also has a very sharp fashion sense. She is known to be very meticulous about what she wears and puts a lot of thought into the outfits that she is seen sporting in the paddock.
Her varied outfits have even garnered praise from the contemporary fashion community. She is known as F1’s female fashion icon, rivaling the allure of Leclerc’s teammate, Lewis Hamilton, who is also known in the paddock for his impeccable fashion sense.

In fact, most recently, she was praised by the fans and media outlets for her outfits during the Chinese GP in Shanghai last weekend. ESPN reposted her pictures and captioned the post, “A moment for Alexandra’s outfits at the Chinese Grand Prix.”
Saint Mleux has such a good fashion eye that even Leclerc seeks his girlfriend’s advice. “I am probably the one asking her for advice,” the 27-year-old revealed in an interview with Tatler when asked who in their relationship seeks more fashion guidance.
“Alexandra has a very good fashion eye, so she has much more advice to give to me than I have to her,” admitted the Monégasque racing driver.
